117 Reviews for Easy Salmon Cakes

Used leftover baked salmon, but substituted almond meal (from Trader Joe's) for the bread crumbs. I had to use bread crumbs one night when we were out of almond meal, and the cakes were much less moist that time.

My southern family tradition made fried salmon patties. This recipe helps with the heart healthy menus. The egg added is tradition in a patty like this--try egg beaters. I suggest mashed potatoes leftovers instead of bread crumbs. You may also consider leaving out the bread crumbs and just added potato instant flakes or cracker crumbs--roll the patties in them. Baking is an excellent idea. What we do to cut out fat gives our children better dietary habits.

These cakes tasted just ok. They were very dry. I even put in 2 eggs to increase the moisture content. I would revise the recipe to either double the salmon or cut in 1/2 the bread crumbs. I would also double the dijon mustard for some added flavor. And maybe even add some dill or tarragon for more flavor.

This was an good recipe over all. I felt it was a little too dry so I added less bread crumbs. I also thought the oven was either too hot or they needed less time because the outside was so dry. Amazingly though they still tasted great. I think frying and then baking them sealed in the moisture and the taste.
